Cloud Bread
Cloud bread is light, airy, and made with just three ingredients: egg whites, corn starch, and sugar. It has a soft, marshmallow-like texture and bakes up beautifully pillowy with no flour needed at all. Add a drop of food coloring for a fun, colorful result. A wonderful gluten-free, flour-free recipe that looks as impressive as it tastes. Also try my 3-Ingredient Flatbread, Chinese Steamed Buns, or No-Knead Baguette.
Cloud Bread
Light, airy cloud bread made by whipping egg whites with sugar and cornstarch. The video demonstrates a colourful vanilla version and a chocolate variation, both baked into a soft mound.Dietary note: Contains eggs. This recipe is not vegan.
Ingredients
- 3 Egg Whites
- 4 tsp (10 g) Corn Starch
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Sugar
- Food Coloring
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
- 1/2 tsp (1 g) Cocoa Powder (for Chocolate Cloud Bread)
- Chocolate Chips (topping) (for Chocolate Cloud Bread)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Whisk the egg whites for about 1 minute until frothy. Add the sugar and whisk for about 30 seconds.
- Add the cornstarch and continue whisking until stiff peaks form. The video recommends an electric mixer; the demonstrated whipping takes about 10 minutes.
- Choose a flavour: gently fold in food colouring and optional vanilla for the coloured version, or the cocoa powder for the chocolate version. Keep the egg-white mixture airy.
- Pile the mixture into a mound on the lined tray. For the chocolate version, sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes.
